Hey friends! I want to share some super easy and cute ornaments I made today for the tree. I recently came across THIS fabric online and bought some to use for my stockings (that I have yet to make)…

I love this company! Even the packaging is cute!

I had the itch to somehow get some of it on my tree, so here is what I came up with…

I started with a $4 piece of wood from Lowe’s. It is 1/4 of an inch thick, 3″ wide and 4 ft long. You can find these by the other boards. I think Hobby Lobby sells craft wood that is similar but also more expensive.

I used my saw to cut several pieces about 5″ long. You can easily use a small hand saw too because this wood is so thin. My hand saw was $12 at Lowe’s.

I used Matte Mod Podge to attach my fabric. I put a thin coat on one side of the wood.

Then, I layed a small piece of fabric just larger than the wood on top of it.

I used a thin coat of Mod Podge over the fabric as well and let it dry.

Ooo! I have fallen in LOVE with Carousel Designs. Does home decor fabric work the same as cotton for you? I was thinking of making some bags out of there prints but I’m not sure about washing and all. Do you have any experience with this?

I love this! Seriously, it’s the highlight of my day to read your posts, because you always have such amazing ideas!

Thanks so much Brooke! 🙂

What hand saw do you have from Lowe’s if you don’t mind me asking? I have wanted to purchase a table saw for a while but those are expensive! When I read that you used your hand saw to cut the wood, I thought, “Duh! a hand saw would be perfect for crafts and things!”. Lovin your chevron ornaments!!!

Hey Ashley,

Mine looks just like this one and I got it at Lowe’s. Let me know if you have any other questions!
